To make this sushi, make sure you use ripe avocados and take care while cutting them, to make neat strips without mashing. Once you get it right, you will forget all the effort that went into it, because this Avocado and Cucumber Sushi served with Oriental sauces and pickled ginger, is a totally immersive experience that will delight you to the core!
